Stereochemistry
Browse CurlyArrows tutorials on stereochemistry — covering conformational isomers, conformational analysis, stabilizing and destabilizing interactions (hyperconjugation, steric strain, torsional strain), geometrical isomerism, cis-trans isomers, impact on physical properties, E/Z nomenclature in substituted alkenes, and the biological and industrial significance of stereoisomerism.
Chemistry Glossary
Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and bonding arrangement; however, they differ in how their atoms are po
A dihedral angle is obtained when two planes pass through three atoms and two bonds, of which one bond is common to both planes.
The different spatial arrangements organic molecules adopt due to the rotation of the single bond are called conformations.
